About the time in La Palma
Around 600 people live in La Palma, and all of them keep the same civil time, so the reading above applies to the whole urban area — not just the city centre.
La Palma sits at latitude 20.88, in the tropical band, so day length here swings only a little between midwinter and midsummer — today's 12h 45m is one point on that curve, not a fixed value.
The zone identifier America/Mexico_City is the value you want in code, calendars and travel systems. Abbreviations change with the season, but America/Mexico_City keeps pointing at Mexico City time whatever the date, which is why every timestamp on this page is built from it.
